2016 BMW 5-Series Spy Shots

These are some of the first spy shots of the 2016 BMW 5-Series, as captured by Bild.de

Bild has captured the 2016 BMW 5-Series Touring in all its camouflaged finery. The chassis is all new and apparently much lighter than the current 5-Series, although the exposed sills appear to be steel. Jaguar may be stealing a march on it's competitors by using exclusively aluminium chassis'.

Bild also reports that one of the engine options in the car will be a 3-cylinder diesel with 150bhp and asks "für BMW-Fans ist das so etwas wie eine Majestätsbeleidigung." This is roughly translated as, "for BMW fans this is treason."*

Interesting that the Germans think this is the case.
